By taking part, you are helping researchers better understand kidney disease at its root cause. This could lead to more personalized treatments and new therapies that may benefit you and many others in the future.

Purpose

Millions of people are affected by kidney conditions such as acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease, but treatment options are still limited. This study aims to better understand these conditions by learning how they differ from person to person at a biological level. By studying kidney tissue and other samples, researchers hope to discover new, more targeted treatments. Your participation could help advance care and improve outcomes for future patients with kidney disease.
